Social engineering is when scammers manipulate people’s emotions (fear, greed, curiosity, trust) to trick them into giving personal info, money, or access. It’s a major cybersecurity threat and very common in crypto.
Common types:
Phishing: Fake emails/websites pretending to be real companies.
Scareware: Fake virus warnings to make you install malware.
Baiting: Free offers (files, gifts, USBs) that contain viruses.
In crypto:
New investors often get scammed through fake giveaways, airdrops, Ponzi schemes, or panic messages.
How to stay safe:
Don’t trust “too good to be true” offers
Avoid suspicious links & attachments
Use antivirus and update software
Enable 2FA security
Always research before investing
👉 Social engineering hacks people’s minds, not computers.
